You’ve probably noticed that most of the VegHead recipes use a bunch of core ingredients. These are ingredients that you end up always having around like maple syrup, nuts, raisins, oats and oat flour, nutritional yeast and the like. This week we offer up a couple of recipes that use up some of those ingredients that you already have in the cupboard. If you’re finding value in VegHead please consider sharing with friends… and as always feel free to ask questions and send us your comments.
Breakfast
Banana Oat Breakfast Bars
This is a great way to mix up your morning routine. You can make these yummy bars the night before or in morning. It’s versatile too so you can add what you like to make it your own.
Lunch
Polenta Rounds with Fresh Mango Salsa
Fresh mango salsa is a real treat with hints of lime, a bit of heat and of course mango. It is a perfect topper for baked polenta rounds. Try this quick lunch for something out of the ordinary.
Dinner
Black Bean and Roasted Sweet Potato Salad
We got this recipe from a neighbour years ago and we still love it! It is super filling so don’t worry about having a salad for dinner. The roasted vegetables and the dressing with hints of lime will ensure there are no leftovers.
Snacks & Desserts
Use What You Have Trail Mix
Eating a plant based diet means that you tend to have lots of nuts, seeds and dried fruit in your cupboard. This easy and satisfying snack uses what you have to create a nutritious trail mix.
The shopping list is broken down by meal for ease of use. We try to include recipes that use the same ingredients more than once so that you don’t end up with food waste. Because of this you’ll see that if an ingredient in the breakfast recipe is also in the dinner recipe it is only listed once. Let us know if you like this way of laying out the shopping list or if you have a better suggestion. If you’ve been following along for a few weeks you’ll notice that many of the ingredients are things that were used in weeks past.
